Moving out of the Goalie Zone in Autonomous

[alexander.h]

Hello! Our team is planning to have our robot start in the goalie zone in autonomous, score in the 1 point goal, and then move into our own zone for the 5 mobility points. The thing is, I think I've read a rule which says that if you start in the goalie zone in autonomous, you have to stay there during the entire autonomous period. Could someone please confirm this? Thanks!

You may want to review the rules again. If you start in the goalie zone, you are on the opposite side of the field from the goals you need to score into. You also don't have a ball.
